Davi Nails

I decided to come in before a business meeting. BIG MISTAKE!
My nails were pretty long by the time I came in, first thing Kevin does is clip my nails off and decided to give me fake nails (which meant I’d have to pay extra $$)
my nails kept flying all over my face and hair.
He kept rushing everything, was on his phone and obviously lacked the customer service.
He repainted my nails twice for how bad they were, not even like that he did a good job.
The way he used his machine was painful and rough, it burnt! (I’m usually good with pain but this was bad!!)
No massage or anything for the price that I was paying.
I had a time frame and I decided to charge it before looking at the results since my meeting was about to start.
Once he finished spraying they alcohol on my nails, he got up and left the store. He took 10 minutes to come back and no one else wanted to ring me up.
They charged me $ 60 and my nails ended up looking like chicken feet!!! I will never come back and I’ll make sure to take pictures and show all the associates at work how the results were.

Needed to kill some time while waiting for my car to be done in Hayward and Davi Nails was the only nail salon nearby that was open on Memorial Day. It is located in Stoneridge Mall in Pleasanton so I could easily shop around after my nails were done while I wait for my car to be done.
I read the reviews on Unilocal and was pretty hesitant in continuing to get my nails done here but I was desperate. I wanted a full set with acrylic nails. What’s the worse they could do? The woman filed my nails too close to my skin and had cut me. I was bleeding from my thumb and she didn’t even acknowledge it. I had originally asked to do a nude gel color on top but after she had cut me, I told her I wasn’t going to proceed with a color and keep it clear. Basically, I just didn’t want her to continue with my nails but finish up what she had already done.
She was pretty fast but very sloppy and left out the whole manicure procedure. She cut my cuticles towards the end after she applied the acrylic and everything. I’m used to having that done towards the beginning.
My nails are pretty uneven. I asked for medium length almond shaped nails and my thumbs are way more pointy than they should be.
If you can, please avoid this place. I was desperate and it was the only place nearby that was open on Memorial Day, otherwise I’d go elsewhere. And $ 35 for a full that left me bleeding was not worth the price. No thanks Davi Nails. See you never!

Tina did my nails and they were the best set I’ve ever had! The shape and thickness were just perfect. 40 $ for a fill with gel polish is a tad expensive but totally worth it with her!

This is my fitst review and sad to say not a good one! If it was possible to give less I would give it –3 stars. After getting my girlfriends nails done, 2 fell off on the second day and then another on the 3^rd day. She said she would not fix them for free or give a refund. The woman has no sense of business ethics I highly recommend «NEVER» getting them done here. YOU WOULD GET BETTER RESULTS FROM A 2 YEAR OLD DOING FINGER PAINTING!

I paid $ 33 for my nails
& they are really think and i got a cut & I felt like he rushed, but they ain’t all that bad…

Honestly I don’t know why I bother going to other nail salons when I have my go to place, but I was having a rough day at work and there are two nails «spas» in Stoneridge mall where I work. BIG MISTAKE. For one, these people have absolutely the worst color selection for nail polish. Literally the worst. Can you use some of that tip money to supply your business? uh me thinks not. Secondly, if Im going to be paying nearly $ 30 for a regular pedicure, you would expect to be treated nicely and get an amazing massage along with service. These people are more concerned with their buffet table of salad and what have you and watching a re run of Friends apparently.
So, I sit down brushing off the first two red flags which was when I probably should of just left. but standing on my feet for so many hours I was dying for a rub down. lets just point out the massage was horrible, and I wasn’t relaxed because they talk so damn loud. Towards the end of my marvelous pedicure I asked the nail tech to have someone charge my DEBIT card as my lunch break was coming to a close. She told me no. LOL
umm.*angela Johnson voice* what?
So I asked again thinking her english may be off and she said «no you need ID.»
Since when are ID’s required for debit cards? I’ve been in retail long enough to know she’s straight BS. She then hassled me about paying like I was some kind of criminal and I said, «Look, I told you my lunch is over and want to just pay so I can get back to work. You’re not understanding. I can come back on my last break to pay or you can take my card now.»
She responded, «No.I follow you then.»
what?
This crazy woman FOLLOWS me back to work and waits outside like a hooker on crack waiting for their pimp. This b**** had me heated!
So I grab my ID and book it back to the salon and slam the cards down and say «charge the damn card.»
She goes on and on about reasons why she followed me and needing an ID etc and I respond in the best way possible as my blood is boiling, «You and everyone here have the Worst customer service ever. You can’t harass people or follow them. I won’t be back here and again and I’ll make sure every customer that steps foot at my job knows that.»
She had the nerve to ask for a tip. LMAO
girl bye.
one star because I got to eat my sandwich while getting a horrible pedi. :)

I have been here in the past and every time I go there is awful customer service. The women are rude and treat you horribly, but I always stupidly come back. Today was the last day I would ever go here again, however. I got a full set of acrylic nails. The woman who did my nails, the owner herself, did the worst job ever. There was a nick on one of my nails, and when I pointed it out to her, she hurriedly and sloppily fixed it, and there is still a nick even now. She did not cut my cuticles or do any of the normal manicure procedure that comes standard when you get a full set. When it came time to pay, I pointed the part where she messed up my nail out to her, again. She then proceeded to blame me for her mess up. I told her it was her job to fix the nail and that all she did was talk badly about the other customers in Vietnamese and was lazy and didn’t do her job correctly. I am paying money for you to do my nails, so I expect you to do my nails. Anyways, she proceeds to tell me that I don’t need to come back, which is actually the worst thing you could say to a customer. She then also called me the B word. She has such awful customer service. So I paid and then left. I unfortunately left my purse there and when I went back to get it about 15 min later, she said «you have to be nice if you want me to give you your purse.» Um, excuse me? It’s MY purse. Nonetheless, she was extremely rude and unprofessional and I sincerely hope this place goes out of business. I’m going to call the Better Business Bureau soon and speak to them about the events that occurred today.

Worst pedicure I’ve ever had. I literally sat down at 12 and its now 1220 and I’m almost finished. The technician was very rough and rude! She kept reclining my chair after I told her I did not want it that way and could not have it that way due to a bad back. If I could give this place no stars I would. They were not friendly or pleasant to one client the entire time (wow 30 minutes in total, MAYBE) I was there. Never again.

I only let Kevin do my nails and also Tina is pretty good too! They are always super sweet to me and I catch up on all the friends episodes while getting services! A little pricey but I like my nails

1^st of all, my name is Jace. I am the temp nail tech at Da Vi Nail; stoneridge mall. If you ask about the service! It is below average. They will rush you in and rush you out. Your shellac will chip off in one week. The owner will sweet talk with you as like Angela Johnson: «What ever you like, we’ll do for you». And will try to keep you there for them to service you so they can make money off from you. As for you if you are happy or not, you have already paid for your service. Anyway, pay or paid for your service, it is up to your judgement. I have no control over your decisions. Bottom line advise is keep going there for bad/​awful/​good service is your choice. Tina as you are not what you think she is. Good luck as you have read my comment.

Literally the worst experience I’ve ever had with a nail salon… do not go here… These woman are like pushy car sales men. And do the worst job. I’m sure a blind person would do better. And I’ve been to a few little shops in the ghetto and they still did a better job than this over priced want to be nail salon. I was there on Sunday ⁶⁄₇ around 4pm. I only came here like most Unilocalers out of pure convience for a shellac manicure. I am rushed to sit down on an uncomfortable stool with no leg room under the counter… So uncomfortable that at a few points during her attempting to do my nails I had to stand up. First off she has an attitude. Even huffing and complaining about back pain. I just let that go and even felt bad for her. She then proceeds to ask me if I wanted the full manicure with massage and everything included because that would take longer. I was shocked and just wanted to get my nails finished as they were already in the process of having the shellac taken off. So I told her no I juts wanted my cuticles cut. She very quickly and very sloppily cuts my cuticles. I mean the QUICKEST manicure I’ve ever had. I had to go back over them with her. I pick a dark pink color and she comes back and starts painting my nails with a different pink. AHH! still I say nothing and reason with myself that it’s close enough. I’m finally leaving and am charged 30 $ for the worst experience. Today is Tuesday ⁶⁄₉. Two days later and three of my nails are already chipping. I have never had my shellac chip like this so quickly in my years of getting shellac. Out of this experience I realize that I am way too nice and needed to speak up next time.

There is only one star because Unilocal forces you to put something but if i xould i would make it a negative! I had the worst experience ever. I had natural, long healthy nails when I went in. All I wanted was a schallac for myself and my daughter. He filed my nails into points with a very course file before i could stop him. My fingers look like dragon claws, its disgusting! My daughters fingers have gel all over the edges. And to make it worse he charged me $ 60 for us. I had to go to Sephora to buy a file and file them all short! I will NEVER go back again!

Definitely recommend the pedicures here. The lady who did my nails gave a great massage and manicured my toes very nicely! I didn’t like that I couldn’t control my own massage chair, but that’s no biggie.

Their customers service is horrible I got helped by Tina or Nina whatever her name is who is the owner the first time she helped me because Kevin is on vacation she took forever and made me wait longer then what she told me she was so apologetic about it so I figured since she did a nice job I would go back to her the next time I made an appointment and she told me that if not her then she would have someone else do my nails I show up and she’s a no show AND there was no one available to do my nails mind you there was 4 women sitting around doing nothing her excuse was they don’t know how to do long nails well if that’s the case then why are they working there it’s 2015 everyone has fake long nails teach them or hire people who know how to do their job this place is expensive and for the customer service that they provide is not even worth it they need to put up a Singh out side of their store that says NO APPOINTMENTS because guess what they can never honer them and they also need one that say only two people there can do long and fake nails so people don’t waste their time! How unprofessional you would think that if your dealing with the OWNER that you would have a better experience but nope it’s actual worst don’t come here people give your business to someone else’s who cares more about their customers YOUR WELCOME !!

Today I went to do my nails pesimo their work, poor attention of the person. I’m never coming back

I came here for the pure convince.
It was not worth my time, my money and even my conversation.
Nail salons are to be pampered, to tend to my nail needs. The front desk woman was incredibly pushy. The atmoshpere was unrelaxing and not only were the implents dull but as «Kevin» clipped my nails they flung at my face and hair. With no concern he continued on with the service with no apologies. He attempted uninterested conversations about my person life. Ie: if I was single, and if I was interseted. Joking or not it was uncomfortable. The staff was unfriendly as well, looking over his shoulder as he worked on me and obviously talking about me. The outcome of his poor work showed as my nails were uneven and the paint job was clumpy and unclean. He tried over charging me for every detail like having stilettos and fixing the polish.

TRACY is a GEM!!! ask for her, she made my night!!! GREAT conversation & look forward to seeing her again!

Kevin did an amazing beyond amazing job. I told him i needed some acrylics to help stop me from biting my nails and they needed to be as short as possible so i could still type quickly. He gave me the most perfect baby nails I’ve ever gotten. I also requested my pointer finger be in a slightly different color and he remembered. He was so nice and i will definitely come back just for him. I’ve gone to Davi before but was never as thrilled with my nails as just now. No one ever shaved down the nail thickness after applying the acrylics before, and that makes the nails look more natural in my opinion.

By other reviews it’s seems to be either loved or truly hated. I can say I am personally not a fan myself.
Word around this salon is that Kevin is the man. I was fortunate enough to only get a pedi, but it wasn’t the g.o.a.t.
I paid $ 40.00 for a gel pedi. Which is pretty pricey comparably to other salons in the area. The spa chairs are probably the best feature of this place. For being located in the mall, it’s not super clean, friendliness is not their strongest asset and as mentioned before if Kevin isn’t there, turn around and run… fast…But don’t break a nail.

My first set I got done here was amazing! However, when I went back to get a fill… The person rushed. He made my cuticles bleed a little. The color I picked out was a pale nude color, would have been pretty with two coats. He asked me how many costs I wanted and I said two. He responded with «no one. Not thick. Look natural.» He rushed through the paint job (doing only one coat after I asked again for two), when it was dry it looked like there was nothing on my nails. I had to go home and re paint them.
Very disappointing.

See bloody toes story below!
I was a customer at this place for about a year and a half. Even though I encountered really bad customer service regularly, I kept coming back because one technician did my acrylic nails just the way I like. However, at this point, I have experienced one too many slaps in the face in terms of customer service.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Davi Nails is concerned with quantity over quality — — the fast buck over developing a core base of good clientele. They are not concerned with keeping a reliable long-​standing customer such as myself.
Here are some examples: Repeatedly, if I made an appointment, the tech was late showing up at work that day or took a walk-​in client 15 minutes before my appointment time. Then, when I would arrive, the manager would say «10 – 15 minutes wait» which really meant 25 – 40 minutes wait. Honestly, if I added up the amount of time I have waited on Davi nail techs… just no… not ok.
If you’re like me: a person who shows up on time for appointments, who tips really, really well, who has nice manners and a friendly disposition — — you will not be appreciated or treated well here. Davi Nails does not care who their clients are as long as there is a high volume of clients.
Good riddance.
Btw, I like my acrylic nails long, thin and natural looking. There is only one tech there who does them that way. The rest of the techs make rather bulky cheesy looking nails, as far as I could tell.
Oh and I forgot to mention… for the first 8 months as a customer there I also got pedicures, but they kept harming me! The final straw was a time that I walked away with bloody feet in 3 different places. I took pics if you don’t believe it. Prior to that the ladies would nick me here and there, but after 3 times being cut in one pedi I said no more.
Sh****y establishment, folks.
